6 Sex Positions To Help Ring In The New Year Right

Start 2018 the way you hope to finish it.

New Year’s Eve is infamously a time for midnight making out—which is fine, although a bit predictable. So why not do yourself a special favor this year and take your romantic New Year’s moment to the next level. Treat yourself and swap out the traditional midnight kiss for some midnight sex instead! After all, tradition holds that the way you start off your New Year is the way you’ll end it, so maybe the best way to ensure 2018 is way better than 2017, is to set yourself up for sexual success from the very first minute.

With that in mind, and in the spirit of the holidays, we’ve rounded up some festive positions to really get the New Year swinging. Enjoy!

1. THE CHAMPAGNE FLUTE

Nothing says New Year’s Eve like a glass of champagne, so why not work one into your routine. Pop a bottle, bring it into the bedroom (or wherever you’re getting down to business), and take turns licking it off one another’s bodies. Just make sure to keep it away from your vagina, a place where sugary foods should never go (for the sake of your personal pH and bacteria-free lady parts).

2. THE CORK POPPER

Here’s one to follow the Champagne Flute (because, thematic continuity). Have your partner sit cross-legged, or in lotus position, on your bed or floor or wherever you’ll be getting it on. Sit on their lap and let your partner penetrate you, wrapping your legs around their waist and rocking together to climax—you know, the sort of small, steady, twisty motions you might use to liberate a cork from its champagne bottle. Bonus points if you incorporate the beverage.

3. THE BALL DROP

Couples with at least one testicle-having partner might consider the Ball Drop, a decidedly sexier take on the annual Ryan Seacrest-fest of December 31st. To execute, lie down on your back with the ball-possessing party situated over your face. Lower his scrotum into your mouth, sucking both balls at once or one by one—whatever pace and volume feels most comfortable to you. As everyone else waits with bated breath for the glittery globe to make its final descent in Times Square, you’ll be warming up with this prelude to oral sex or the main event, whatever you so choose.

4. STROKE OF MIDNIGHT

As the clock strikes midnight, consider having your partner stroke your clit while entering you from behind. Whether it’s reverse cowgirl, doggy style, modified doggy, or the caboose, rear entry leaves your hands free to stroke one another’s most sensitive spots, and truly start the New Year off with a bang.

5. FIRECRACKER

Have your partner brace you against a wall, holding you around the waist while you drape your ankles over their shoulders. As your partner thrusts, your silhouette, with legs splayed in the air, should approximate the shape of a sparkler. Time this one for when the fireworks go off after midnight.

6. MIDNIGHT MAGIC

Are you feeling very, very tired at the end of this long year? Same, tbh. Why not lie back and let your partner do the literal leg work as we transition into 2018: Position yourself on your back and have him kneel between your legs, then arch your back to meet his hips. With your feet flat on the mattress or your surface of choice, your partner can thrust into you with deep, controlled motions that stimulate your G-spot while you get a bit of a back stretch. Magic indeed.
